IN SUMMARY OF THE WHEEL TURNS, IT IS TIME TO FIGHT

In summary, the wheel of time will turn forever, of course, but if Conservatives/ Republicans have their way, the wheels of wheelchairs and walkers will cease to turn. While their intent in suing to say that The Americans With Disabilities Act should not apply to State and Locally Owned Public Buildings may not have been to cause people such as Tomas to take their own lives, if they had stopped to think about it,, the conclusion that caused him to make that choice was a foreseeable outcome from such actions, and even if every person with an kind of disability in this country or even the world, mental or physical, did take their own lives, no Conservative/Republican would shed a single tear or care at all. The Wheel Turns, and time runs on. The question is, what are those of us who either have or care about someone who has a disability going to do about this? We must make sure that everyone we know who has a disability knows that their lives are valued. Obviously, personal conversations to say this are a first step. But that alone is not enough. Everyone in the country who has a disability and everyone in the country who cares at all about anyone with a disability, regardless of our differences on any other matters,political or otherwise, must stand up and tell Conservatives and The Republican Party, in one voice, WE WILL NOT GO QUIETLY INTO THE NIGHT. WE WILL NOT GIVE UP WITHOUT A FIGHT. WE WILL BE HEARD. WE WILL BE SEEN. AND YOU WILL RECOGNIZE AND TREAT US AS FULL HUMAN BEINGS, AND ALL EFFORTS TO RESTRICT OUR ACCESS ANYWHERE, EVER, WILL END, NOW, TODAY, IN THE NAME OF JUSTICE, IN THE NAME OF LIBERTY, AND IN THE NAME OF THE SUPREME JUDGE OF THE WORLD! LET IT BEGIN.
